I’m in that mood again: where the heck did that phrase come from? Please indulge me. It gives me a break from serious thinking.
Of course, you know what it means–super excited, hyper-interested, like, wow! that’s unbelievably fantastic! And most people associate it with being in love.
Originally, though, it just meant being upside down, topsy-turvy. The romantic soul who tied it into love for the first time did so in his autobiography in 1834. That was none other than Davey Crockett.
How’s that for a bit of trivia that you can’t work into any conversation?
